Windmill's getting Fried in DFW (Sunburn)

[PDXPalm]

Three of my 5 Windmill's are really taking a beating from this hot weather.  New Growth is fine but many Fronds are burnt.  These are 6 foot trees.

 

Any advice?

Put them on a drip system and go sparingly on fertilizer during 95F+.  Picture would help.  Trachy should be able to handle sun if watered well but may do better in your location in afternoon shade

Trachycarpus fortueni are far more suited to PNW zones 7b and up. It more closely mimics the native habitat. Continued punishing heat is detrimental to their overall health.

Really struggling to keep my Trachy’s in good health this year. The 105F heat in July didn’t really effect them and 95-100F heat the next few days probably won’t either. However the drought here is something else. Going back to November, London has had less rain than Los Angeles. July only had 0.03 inches here so I am having to keep the Trachy’s watered, but I am also under water restrictions now. The use of hosepipes has been banned with £1000 fines for people videoed using them. Hoping for some rain next week, but I think I will be using watering cans on everything from here on. I had no water yesterday morning though due to low water pressure because of the drought. Pointless using a water butt as it won’t fill up on its own. Nowhere near enough rain, even during a normal year. I’ll dump a few watering can loads on my Trachy’s tonight as we might hit 100F tomorrow.

Shocking they banned using a garden hose.   There's a lot of water underground and in the rivers/canals/ditches/creeks etc, at least here (while the grass has dried up). I think politicians in Western Europe are overreacting to make people more afraid of climate change rather than people using garden hoses really having that much of an impact. By next week we already getting rain again.
